2-D pointing while walking
Lisa Louise Davis · 2001
A frequent assertion in wearable computer discussions is that WIMP (windows/icons/mouse/pointer) interfaces are inappropriate for wearable computers, in part because 2-D (two-dimensional) pointing is difficult while walking. This paper summarizes findings from user studies conducted by Tangis Corporation on the usability of pointing devices for wearable computers. The author finds that, with changes, 2-D pointing could be an adequate interim solution.
